you know, secretary panetta has now done just about all they can do. there are a couple of issues that remain to be resolved, but for the most part he has now done all that the pentagon can do to offer benefits to same-sex military families. what stands in the way today is the defense of marriage act. that's what's preventing charlie's wife, karen, and their daughter from receiving a substantive amount of benefits that would make their lives so much easier going forward. >> how are karen and the family doing? charlie was valiant in her battle against breast cancer, and also valiant on the frontlines of marriage equality and the battle for service members to get the equity that they deserve. how are they holding up, and have they heard this news from you? >> she was a hero. you're right. thomas, she was a hero in the truest sense of the word. she gave the last fullmer of her devotion to this fight for equality, for her own family first. karen and casey are doing as well as can be expected. i know that they appreciate the support that they have received

panetta said the same thing during the open meeting. they knew that the day of the attack and why do they send susan rice out there to lie to the american people on that weekend to all five of the big shows on tv. the only answer is it was before the election and they didn't want people to know what a lousy policy we had or the president has had in the middle east. >> something else that came up during the hearing was secretary panetta said there was no way they could have called in f-16s you just can't bomb the heck out of a place with f-16s if you don't know where you are going. do you buy that argument there was nothing that the pentagon could have done with aircraft even flying them low to scare people away? >> they could have prepared for this months and weeks ahead of time and could have placed something in the vicinity. if you stop and realize that chris stevens was making a plea for help all during that period of time i would say that we could have had somebody there and we have the asset there's. not the assets we should have b

joy, does leon panetta need a shirt that says "i survived a chuck hagel filibuster and all i got was this lousy t-shirt?" just when he thinks it can't get worse, it's actually seemingly gotten worse. >> this is insane. i mean, last night i went through, and i was looking at the george w. bush cabinet nominations. none of which were filibustered. just for fun. just because i knew we were talking about it. his second term cabinet nominations, the majority went through by voice vote. they didn't even bother to take a poll of the senate. people like michael mukaze sailed through and alberto gonzalez, who went to the bedside of john ashcroft when he was the chief guy to demand that this sick man, this man who was on his bed barely lucid sign off on wiarrantless wiretapping. we had bin laden -- not filibuster. i mean, the bottom line is this is unprecedented, and the fact that republicans want to do it and not call it a filibuster, harry reid really should go back and rethink not doing filibuster reform. it was a huge error. >> that's it, right, maggie? here is case in point. he had the op
